(October 8, 2008)—Killeen Municipal Court, the City Marshal's Office, and Killeen Police Department are conducting a Warrant Roundup during the month of October.

Beginning October 20, citizens who have a warrant with the Killeen Municipal Court can voluntarily and pay their fines without being arrested.

However, the city is warning that, after the grace period ends October 31, anyone with unpaid warrants will be subject to arrest.

The City of Killeen has added personnel to their dispatch and jail staff to accommodate a large number of arrests.

The City of Killeen has listed persons with active warrants on its website.

The court accepts payments of cash, money order, or Visa/MasterCard but no personal checks.
